    Any thoughts on plant's current condition?

    Thanx for the quick responses. For info, I'm using Promix BX (contains little/no nutes); I'm watering every 5 - 7 days; and when using nutes (correction to above, I've made two applications), I'm using Jack's Classic at a very dilute mixture. I'm a little gun shy on nutes because on first nute...
